New Test Method for Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen content in Waste Plastics
1. Scope
This standard describes a procedure for the determination of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen (CHN) content in waste plastics using an Elementar Vario Cube analyzer or equivalent. The method is used to quantitate C, H, or N from <0.1 wt% to 99.9 wt%.
Keywords
Recycled plastic
Rationale
A standard is needed to make sure that all tests on waste plastics are performed the same way. It will be a pillar and resource that testers can utilize to analyze their samples accurately.
